Bioinformatics Approach for Bacterial Hydrogen Energy Augmentation

The objective of the project is to improve the productivity and processivity of microbial hydrogen production by using various bioinformatics approaches. Hydrogen is a sustainable energy supply, which will reduce and conceivably even eliminate hydrocarbon use. More...

Bioinformatics Approach for Fungal Lovastatin Augmentation

Lovastatin and its analogs are inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, a rate-limiting enzyme of cholesterol biosynthesis and are used to lower elevated cholesterol levels in atherosclerosis. Many fungus producing lovastatin has been identified and particularly Aspergillus terreus is the major one.More...
